To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE M.

My improvements consist in giving to the socket an angular form on one side, and in placing in the opposite side of the socket to that in which the angle is formed a doublecurved spring, to react in the direction of the angle, in order to enable the socket to hold securely whip-stocks of any size. A further improvement is in the addition of bolts and nuts in the manner shown, to form the means 0t attaching the socket to the dash-board of a vehicle.

In the drawing, A marks the body of the socket, to which I give the form clearly represented in cross-section in Fig. 3. On one side is the angle 0, the opposite side being rounded, as shown. In the rounded side is out a long slot, 60, across the middle of which runs a bar, I), to which a long double curved spring, S, is attached by the rivet a. The reaction of this spring is in the direction. of the angle 0, so' that when a whip-stock of what by the bar I), as and for the purpose set forth.
